Weblog:   Dashboard - very cool. A must see.

Response to: There's a flaw in the implementation IMHO

I'm the anonymous poster from above and thought I'd register this time! I've got a big smile on my face because after a week of mulling over the problem of getting this ported to OS X, I think I've come up with a great solution to some of the obstacles. Now, I just have to code up a prototype and take it from there. The approach actually diverges greatly from Dashboad's but the effect should be the same. Anyways, talk is cheap so I'll be quiet until I have something coded up.

      I've taken note of your e-mail address. For the time being, I'm going to do this alone until there is a clear direction for my program which is quite well under way. The past week I've been working past some minor technical hiccups in my design but I'm quite happy with my slightly differing approach to accomplishing the dashboard functionality. The interesting thing so far is I haven't even checked out dashboard first hand. I suppose I should get around to doing that at some point!

    Awesome! I've been reading Edd's blog and trying to figure out how to get a piece of that stuff. It looks like any kind of .NET for OS X is still quite a ways away, but the concept of Dashboard is way more important than the implementation.

    How will we know when you've got something to show? Have a "coming soon" page or something?

      Apparently Portable.net (http://www.southern-storm.com.au/portable_net.html) runs on .Net.

      It certainly doesn't look like a OSX version of Mono is going to be available until later in the year.

      I'll post back here when I have something to demo. This is my first significant project using Objective-C and Cocoa. The rapidity of development is actually stunning. I could have something to show off in as little as 3 weeks. Check back by then;-)

        I've been working a bit on Dashboard this summer, but since, I've bought a powerbook.
        Hence I'll be glad to participate to a similar project on osX.

        If you could keep me aware of what you do at: mortimer dot pa at urbanet dot ch. I'll be glad to help.

        Thank you.
